Giveaway: Plan a Family Summer Vacation to Texas!

Although I have never been to Texas, it is one vacation spot I can't wait to take my children too. It is a state full of rich history and fantastic food. Since I can't bring my family to Texas, Texas is coming to us! There is a tour traveling the country teaching families about the rich culture of Texas. The tour is called Texas on Tour, and you can find your closest tour stop on their schedule here:

San Diego County Fair 6/23-7/4 Del Mar

Bite of Seattle 7/15-7/17 Seattle, WA

Ohio State Fair 7/27-7/31 Columbus, OH

Iowa State Fair 8/11-8/21 Des Moines, IA

On the tour you can explore the beautiful Texas coastline on a virtual beach, watch a film and play Texas trivia inside the dome theater, splash your way across the state in a virtual kayaking adventure, and so much more.

Texas is the ideal family destination. There’s plenty of family fun in Texas. They've got enough zoos, aquariums, kid-friendly museums and amusement parks to entertain even the most rambunctious little ones. And don’t forget the beaches, state and city parks, fairs, festivals, animal sanctuaries, and dinosaur tracks. I can't wait to take my children to see the Big Bend part of Texas. They would just LOVE it!

Texas is amazing and there is so much to do while visiting. There is a little bit of everything in Texas....you have the desert, the coastline and beaches, the hill country and a few vinyards, there are many lakes to explore and the many state parks to take advantage of. The communities range from small tight knit towns to large cities. You can also find towns rich with different cultures ranging from German to Czechoslovakian to Mexican. If you haven't experienced Texas, then you should put that on your things to do list.

Disneyland is a pretty expensive proposition all around. And summer rates are one of the highest of the year and i think in the pics some crazing photos and vacation is one of the best time to spend the time..
